I agree as well! However, as long as it is fan driven it will continue! Until we,as the consumer, stop forking over astronomical amounts like a bunch of hypnotized circus monkey's it will continue to get worse

College football is American football played by teams of student athletes fielded by American universities, colleges, and military academies, or Canadian football played by teams of student athletes fielded by Canadian universities. It was through college football play that American football rules first gained popularity in the United States. No minor league farm organizations exist in American football.

It is amazing how much the Booster Clubs contribute. Hard for me to believe Wisconsin spent more than Michigan.

However Wisconsin does not have a men's baseball team (they used to along time ago). I know the men's hockey team lost a lot of revenue this past season. Huge huge drop in this area. One key reason they fired the coach which was hard as he had contributed so much as a player and did coach them to a national championship about a decade ago.
